Hill Railways of the Indian Subcontinent

Richard Wallace was born in Hawkhurst, Kent in 1951. He led a career in transport spanning forty-five years, working on both buses and railways, finishing as European Policy Manager for Britain's passenger train operators. Although now retired he still drives buses and coaches, both commercially and for museums. Managing an offshore scheduling project for the London Underground took him to India in 1989; the magic of the country and its people enticed him back and he has never stopped travelling there, widening his journeys to include Pakistan. He has been lucky enough to ride most of the lines covered in this book. Richard holds a Master's degree in Transport Policy and is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Transport.
